Senior Advocate KV Viswanathan To Be Chief Justice Of India In 2030 If Centre Approves Collegium Proposal

Live Law  

Senior Advocate KV Viswanathan – the Supreme Court collegium’s pick for a judgeship – would go on to become the Chief Justice of India, following seven other judges in line after the incumbent chief justice DY Chandrachud. “At present there is only one member from the Bar directly appointed to the Supreme Court Bench,” the collegium has noted, referring to Justice PS Narasimha, who is also in line to become the chief justice of the apex court. His wide experience and profound knowledge will provide significant value addition to the Supreme Court.” The top court also highlighted the rich and diverse experience of the Tamil Nadu-born lawyer, saying, “Viswanathan has appeared in a wide range of cases on diverse subjects including constitutional law, criminal law, commercial law, the law of insolvency, and arbitration.” The resolution further acknowledges the senior counsels’ contributions in the capacity of amicus curiae, saying, “His stature as an eminent member of the Bar has been recognised by the Supreme Court in numerous cases where he was appointed to assist the Court as amicus curiae.” Finally, the top court has commended not only the ‘sound understanding of law’ and integrity possessed by Viswanathan, but also his reputation in the legal fraternity as an upright senior member of the Bar. Apart from Viswanathan, the top court has also recommended the name of Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra of the Andhra Pradesh High Court hoping to fill the recent vacancies.
